Microsoft Security Essentials is live!!

[Wayner]

Does anyone have a link to the older leaked version at all they could PM me?

Thank you kindly

I dont know if i'm even going to install it, it's older.
I have the .exe though.
Does anyone think i should install it even though it's older (but official)?

dont think its older... MS certificates are 3 days newer on "public" one then on leaked one, so i would assume its actualy newer, but no clue tbh...

 

[jblazea50]

yup, the Digital Sig is 3 days newer for the beta release than the leaked version

i uninstalled the leaked one and installed the beta one

 

[mxosder16]

but no clue tbh...

me either, the build number has thrown me off

Leaked version is newer than beta..litlebit confusing which one gonna use ...im using leaked version

how can you be sure in that? only because of build number? fact is that file it self was signed _3_ days after file from leaked version (14th june leaked, 17th june public one), so i would assume this one is 3 days newer build. Have no explanation about why version is so different tho

I am getting an error when trying to install it. It's telling me "Can't complete the MSE Installation Wizard. This may be caused by having other microsoft antimalware software installed on you computer." Is it saying I need to uninstall windows defender? I thought it overrides it in installation? Lemme know if u guys had this problem or how to fix it?

I've downloaded and installed the Beta release for XP and am now scanning that machine.

yes, but thats because of version change. Higher doesnt mean newer, they could easy just change version for some wierd reason. For me newer means, compiled at later time. Ill use public beta, because its newer by date

Did I see where this is going to cost $49 per year > per computer ???

 

[mxosder16]

A good point that has swayed my decision

I just uninstalled the leaked version and installed the official one. Its better to have an official release right.

MSE will be free.

From this page --> Microsoft Security Essentials Markets

You're too busy to spend a lot of time worrying about protecting your PC. With Microsoft Security Essentials Beta, you get high-quality protection against viruses and spyware, including Trojans, worms and other malicious software. And best of all, there are no costs or annoying subscriptions to keep track of.

Of course, that says nothing about what it will cost once it comes out of Beta :sarc: - though everything I've read says that it will be no-cost.

Same here. Maybe the leaked version was miswritten. So i advice you all to use the public beta.

Absolutely!

Ive only ever read that this will be free once released. Dunno where the $49 came from.

Files 1GB and larger must be downloaded using File Transfer Manager (FTM), which is compatible with Windows 98SE and later. In addition, FTM enables you to download a group of files, pause, and resume your download in case of interruption. Learn more on the File Transfer Manager Web site.

Anyone else have to download that even though the file is nowhere near 1GB?
